Hi to all guys.
I would like to put a second QL postation here in my office for make more fastly the dumps.
But here I've only VGA monitors, so I would like to know If someone can suggest me a good RGB to VGA upscaler.
I simply need to put the QL from his RGB in a 1024x768 resolution on a old 15" TFT monitor.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Best regards.

Simone,
the cheap GBS-8220 RGB to VGA converters you get on eBay work quite well.

SCART from the QL? Well, you'd need to solder a cable, then. The GBS-8220 wants R, G, B and composite sync from the QL.

Yes it is possible. For example SCART to HDMI.

Not so cheap but a good investment as you can use it also for a number of other retro-computers (I use it also for Amiga, ST, Electron, C64, etc.).

Just need to use it one at my office with a VGA monitor ^_^
I think is better to use a TV with HDMI too.

I guess that you already had a look at this:

The first part includes a SCART to VGA adapter.
